Organizations Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down Financing of Public Schools By Property Tax
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nine major religious, civic and education organizations today . asked the U.S. Supreme Court : to strike down public school financing by means of property taxes, a method that made Mexican-American children "orphans of the Texas school System," they charged. ....
"The racial discrimination issue... lies/at the very core of this case/ it was asserted in a friend-of-the-court brief submitted Jby the nine groups. They charged that wealth determined the
quality of education ■ ih . Texas, there,by'7 discriminating against school districts ■ containing; large percentages of Mexican-American children, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The case involved is San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, which the Supreme Court will hear in the term beginning next month. The nine groups asked the high court to af¬ firm'the ruling of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas directing the Texas authorities to end the inequalities of the present system of financing. MORE MONEY GOES TO WEALTHIER, WHITE DISTRICTS In their amicus brief, the organizations noted that the Texas school system relied primarily on property taxes for funds and a contribution from the state allocated on the basis of the experience
and education of the teachers hired by the school districts.
This system, they con¬ tended, led to better quality education for schools in wealthier districts. The groups explained: If t-
"The school ^district [supplements state'aid with Jits own funds, and richer districts can more easily supplement state funds than poorer districts. Moreover, ' better qualified teachers will generally go to those school districts offering them the highest salaries and the state gives school districts more money if they have better qualified teachers.
"In this and other ways, the state gives more money per pupil to wealthier districts, which are over¬ whelmingly whiteM than it . does to poorer districts which tend to contain large concentrations of t minority group children. > .
"This occurs eveh though poorer districts tend to tax themselves, in general, at a higher rate than wealthier districts."
